IMO the problem would be easily solved adding a field in 777's ACE, showing ZFWCG and TOCG values during all loading steps (pax + cargo + fuel) as used by another developer. This way, we would have accurate data to insert into the FMC.

You might need to change the [Custom Autopilot] settings:

From this:

[Custom Autopilot]
AP_Roll_speed=3.91
AP_Roll_window=5.7
AP_Roll_controlstep=2825


To this:

[Custom Autopilot]
AP_Roll_speed=4
AP_Roll_window=7
AP_Roll_controlstep=1500

The Anti-Ice seems to be working (I left them set on AUTO and did NOT use SHIFT+H to turn the carb heat on, which was a fix in v1.1!

VNAV is working fine for me! It went wonky on me, as I stated in my original post. When I tried it again, with my joystick disabled. It performed just fine. It didn't wobble at all. The turn was very smooth.

No you did not read it correctly. I said I did not change it from TO to CLB (it was in reference to a post of yours that I had read in the forum though). I left it to do what it does it's own way. Should it change on its own normally? I don't know.
I am not, nor have I ever been, a real pilot, so I don't normally check that in these modern airliners, unless an addon aircraft requires them to be changed manually, then I do change them. So IF they should change automatically and don't, then I would have to say that it's wrong. All in all, the flight was really good from beginning to end. Except for that bit of a wobble at the beginning, that seems to be being caused by my joystick (see my response to Jack Vogel question).

I'm not sure, but it might be the reason. I just did a test flight with a very light aircraft (TOW 379,605) and it never went above 5500 fpm.

I know the Captain Sim 777 isn't perfect, but I am very pleased with the results I'm getting in v1.2. As always, that's how I feel about it. It is good enough (and was in v1.1 IMO) for some very long haul flights that I want to do in it.

Clock acts strange like you describe. The time/timer display sometimes disappears for a few minutes, but it always comes back. I don'y know what time it displays because it is never the local time, nor GMT/UTC time.

Yep. Still some work needed.

I did a flight where I thought I should have gotten that problem, but I didn't. I assumed that because the Upper EICAS was displaying EAI beside the N1 indicators, that the Anti Ice was working like it should. I guess I will have to check it out by flying somewhere really cold (starting to shiver just thinking about it)!

In the takeoff, climb and cruise phases of the flight, I don't see any difference between that setting and the one that comes in v1.2.
But using the above settings, and once I'm close to landing (about 2 miles from the runway), my 777 starts rocking left and right, getting worse as it gets closer to the runway, and most often ends with it crashing. Sometimes it's lucky and just bounces around on the grass beside the runway without crashing (because the main gear on one side contacts the ground first), but not very often.
If I switch back to the one that comes with v1.2, it comes in straight and level every time, even with a 20-30 knot crosswind. It also lands in the centre of the runway every time.
So I guess one uses the settings that gives the results.

Hi Carlo.

It's strange that yours is steady during the ILS approach, but not in the flight. With the 1.2 default settings, mine appears to be fine in all phases of flight. I don't have any solution really, except to maybe try different settings. Like trying a mix of both settings.
